A chamber sealer won't be in the budget for quite a while, I shouldn't spend money on frivolous things at all right now. Now if I only had marked my boxes in storage better so that I don't have to open all 40 to find the Foodsaver... I had a look at the Baldwin site, that looks helpful. Will I need the book? Any other recommended book that could be useful for an amateur with a demi?

Effen Amazing. I have actually wanted to get one for a few years, but I have been dithering about what combo to get. 2x Demi or 1x Regular Supreme and 1x Demi. I hear people like having two so you can do two dishes at once.

Id only buy it if you want to be able to thumb through it, or if you feel inspired to show some financial support for his efforts... Pretty much everything in the book is on the website, I own the book but find myself more likely to look something up on his site than to open my book. The recipes are good, but the only real important part is those tables (and they are REALLY important), everything else is the whimsy of the chef.

Keller's "Under Pressure" is the sous vide bible, but you certainly don't need it. There are tons of legit food blogs just brimming with good sous vide recipes.

Be sure you make a double batch of the "perfect egg" right off the bat, it's a perfect intro to get your mind working in the right way for this method.
